Judge Judy Season 17 Episode 255 Botched Limo to the Prom!; Father Daughter Rental Dispute

Father-daughter rental disputes are always sensitive, but what happens when the rental in question is a limo rented for prom night? In season 17, episode 255 of Judge Judy titled "Botched Limo to the Prom!; Father Daughter Rental Dispute," viewers will watch as Judge Judy settles a limo rental dispute between a father and daughter.

The episode begins with the plaintiff, a teenage girl who rented a limo for her prom night. She claims that the limo company she rented from sent her a vehicle that was not only late but also unsuitable for a prom night. She further accuses the limo service of leaving them stranded in an unsafe area of town with no one to assist them. Naturally, this put a damper on her special night and ruined the entire prom experience for her.

On the other hand, the defendant, a limo service company, states that they fulfilled their contractual obligations and delivered a functioning limo on prom night. They claim that the plaintiff was unhappy with the limo because her friends, who had also rented a limo from a different company, had a “nicer” car, and the plaintiff wanted to trade up.

As the case unfolds, more truths come to light. The plaintiff’s friends indeed had a nicer car, which caused a rift between the friends and the plaintiff. What’s more, Judge Judy discovers that the limo company did, in fact, send a broken limo. However, the real question is whether the limo’s defects were severe enough to warrant a breach of contract claim from the plaintiff.

The case takes an unexpected turn when the limo company’s representative brings up an entirely new issue: the damages caused to the limo by the plaintiff’s group. The representative claims that the plaintiff’s group caused considerable damage to the vehicle and refuses to provide any refund until the damages are paid for. The plaintiff and her father refute the claim and state that the limo was in perfect condition when they left it.

The second case in the episode involves a father-daughter squabble over a rental car. The plaintiff, the father, had rented a car for his daughter to use while she was staying with him. However, the car rental agreement specified that only the plaintiff had permission to drive the car. The daughter, in violation of her father’s rental agreement, lent the car to a friend, who subsequently got into a car accident, causing damage to the rental car.

When the plaintiff learned what had happened, he demanded that his daughter pay for the damage caused to the car. The daughter refused to pay, claiming that her father had given her permission to lend the car out. The father denies ever granting such permission, leading to a family feud.

As Judge Judy takes on this case, she navigates the complex back-and-forth between the father and daughter and explains the legal concepts of rental agreements and the responsibilities of both parties.

In this episode of Judge Judy, viewers will get a taste of the Judge’s no-nonsense approach to handling disputes of all kinds. As always, Judy is impartial in her judgment, providing clarity and direction to both parties. For anyone interested in legal proceedings, rental disputes, or just good old dramatic TV, Judge Judy has something for everyone.
